/* myTAXfile — shared frame styles
   Frame hierarchy, sizing, and section-ID scheme per Seung Park's
   design-stable-web-frames standard.
   Palette: approved master color system — adopted 2026-08-01 with the
   homepage mockup Seung Park supplied as the approved master visual
   reference (supersedes the navy/teal cool palette from earlier the
   same day). Warm-white body, slate headings, teal actions, pale
   blue-gray section bands, medium slate-blue footer. Target mix:
   70–75% white/warm white, 15–20% pale blue-gray, 5–10% slate/teal.
   AA notes: white on --color-primary measures 4.35:1, so primary
   buttons and step numerals render at >=18.7px semibold (WCAG large
   text, 3:1). Text links use --color-primary-hover (5.91:1 on white).
   Footer text is full white on #4b7890 (4.79:1) — never dim it with
   opacity below 1.
